Owen Slaeter or Matthew Murdock?


Just curious which character is more loved by the audience. Probably DD seing its popularity right now ... but still, I'm curious if there're many fans from before.

I REALLY love(d) both series, but I think I would still go with Owen because of the tragic love story and maybe a bit because I'm still not over his death and HOW HE WAS FOUND ...

Matthew Murdock!!

To me he IS Matthew Murdock. How funny that his name is CC and he plays MM & DD.

Although he did a fantastic job being Owen Sleater. But I feel that role can be played by any other actors.

Also, can't really compare the two roles. Owen's screen time is less than 5mins in each episode while MM is the lead! Not a big fan on love story either.

Charlie should have more diverse roles as he can ACT.

Oh yeah hadn't paid attention to the initials!
Well his MM/DD is ON POINT and I LOVE this new series so I can't (and don't want to) argue with anyone on that!;)

I'm sure Murdock is much closer to his real-life personality. (apart from the blind stuff & anger... hehe)
I just thought his Owen was a real scene-stealer. A bit like Oberyn in Game of Thrones! 
And you're right: he should have had SO MUCH MORE screentime!
